The 20-year-old is studying Philosophy, Politics and Economics (PPE) at Oxford University. Incidentally, PPE was also the course of choice of former Pakistan PM Benazir Bhutto — a post Yousafzai dreams of running for. “In Pakistan, unfortunately, they haven’t really seen a trustworthy leader yet,” Yousafzai had told Hindustan Times in an October 2015 interview.

The education activist’s tweet has garnered over 2 lakh retweets in less than a day and nearly 7 lakh ‘likes’.

Yousafzai also engaged in friendly banter with her brother Khushal Yousafzai, much to the delight of Twitterati.

Sorry for being a headache for the last 5years. So grateful you are still with us??. Ik you miss me but i am coming to oxford in 2years????.

Khushal ended the conversation with a tongue-in-cheek comment saying, “He never wanted to go to Oxford anyway”.

In 2012, Yousafzai was shot at by the Taliban for her advocacy of girls education in Pakistan. After undergoing surgery and rehabilitation in Birmingham, she said she got a ‘second life’ devoted to education.
